Yes, I did a clean install of WinXP and then installed SP3. I haven't noticed
another update which failed yet. I use AntiVir Personal Edition and it was
running while installing SP3. Do I have to deinstall SP3, or did I install a
wrong version?

Make *certain* that you check in at Windows Update immediately after
installing IE7 and install any critical updates offered. If Optional
Updates category offers Root Certificates update, I recommend installing it
to take full advantage of IE7's additional security.
